OPPO, a phone brand, introduced the new F1s model in its photography-focused F series globally, and in Pakistan.

The newly launched F1s has a 16 megapixel front camera and a 13 megapixel rear camera. The F1s is priced at Rs29,999 and is a step up in the selfie revolution.

The phone comes with a lightening-fast fingerprint reader, a large 3075 mAh battery, 32GB ROM, and a triple-slot card tray that offers dual-4G/LTE SIM capability and expandable memory.

The art of the selfie

The purpose-built F1s captures beautiful, natural-looking selfies, and is the first phone to bring a 16 megapixel front camera to this price segment.

The front 'Beautify' camera comes equipped with a 1/3.1-inch sensor and a large f/2.0 aperture, providing high dynamic range while minimizing noise.

Combining these specs with OPPO’s unique processing algorithms allows the F1s to capture vivid selfies with depth and detail.

The device features an upgraded Screen Flash function, which dynamically adjusts to compensate for current light conditions.

The F1s features a 13MP rear camera with a 1/3-inch back-illuminated sensor and f/2.2 aperture, for high light sensitivity and dynamic range. Its photography platform offers a host of practical features. Adding to the rear camera’s panorama mode is a 'Selfie Panorama' feature up front.

Selfies can also be automatically activated with the wave of a hand or simply by saying “Cheese!”, giving users opportunities to get their shots right and avoid the unwanted shake, caused by pressing the shutter button.

Users also have endless possibilities for creativity with nine built-in filters and watermarks, along with a host of plug-ins, including an upgraded Expert Mode, Double Exposure, Time Lapse and GIF.

Lightning-fast touch access, new fingerprint-activated app launch

The F1s features a home-button fingerprint reader, which can unlock the phone in a mere 0.22s, making the phone one of the fastest fingerprint readers in the price segment.

The fingerprint reader is also uitilised for two brand-new features: fingerprint-activated calling and app launch.

Users can assign five different fingerprints to applications and contacts of their choice. By using different fingers to unlock the phone, the pre-set app or phone call will start automatically, saving users the inconvenience of finding names in a contact list or looking for an app among dozens of icons.

See a shot you need to capture fast? Just drop your pre-set finger for the camera app and go!

Smooth long-lasting performance

The F1s comes with an octa-core 64-bit processor with 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM.

F1s comes with the fast, smooth, and snappy ColorOS 3.0 firmware which gives users a joyful multitasking experience with a 30 per cent increase in operating speed than its predecessor.

The F1s packs a large 3075 mAh battery, whose performance is boosted by ColorOS 3.0’s state-of-the-art power-saving optimizations.

Sleek eye-catching design

The F1s features a 5.5-inch 2.5D Corning Gorrilla Glass 4 screen, with a pre-applied protective screen coating, giving a premium look without sacrificing premium durability.

Two slender lines flow across the phone’s aluminum alloy back which give it a sleek and effortless distinction.

The phone will be available in two colours in Pakistan: Gold and Rose Gold.
